Advice

In China, everybody starts with Longfist (chang quan). The basic jumps and kicks
are the very first things to be learned. Then the 5 Stances form and a form called Gui Ding Quan. And then the big decision; Do you want to learn Staff and Broadsword or Spear and
Straightsword? It usally takes years until students are allowed to learn traditional hand styles and weapons. Even if you are not young enough to start with the acrobatic
jumps used in modern wushu, you should practice the basics and know how the jumps work.

Build up flexibility first. The stretchkicks have to be practiced at least 4 times per week.
